Naima stressed, and rejecting the idea of ​​burning old-fashioned clothes, especially undamaged ones, which causes health problems caused by the burning process, we thought of finding an unconventional way to get rid of these clothes in a healthy and safe manner to preserve the environment, as well as benefit from them instead of wasting them in this way. .
